What Is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a small titanium fixture that works as an artificial tooth root. It takes the place of the missing tooth into the jawbone. Eventually,osseointegration takes place which means that it will naturally bond with the bone. This creates a strong base for a custom crown.
How It Works
-
Tooth Removal (if required): If your tooth hasn’t already been removed, it will be gently extracted.
-
Implant placement: The dentist who specializes in dental implants will insert the titanium screw into the jaw bone.
-
Healing Period: Your body will take to the implant during the next three months, and the implant will be firmly secured in place.
-
Crown Placement: After healing, you will come back to Quality Dental Care, where we’ll replace the tooth with a customized crown.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How long do dental implants last?
Dental implants are designed to be a permanent solution. With good oral hygiene
and regular dental visits, they can last 20 years or more, and often a lifetime.
2. Is the implant procedure painful?
Implant placement is done under local anaesthetic, and most patients report
minimal discomfort—less than what’s typically experienced after a tooth
extraction.
3. What’s the difference between an implant and a bridge?
A bridge relies on adjacent teeth for support, which may require them to be
filed down. A dental implant stands independently, preserving the health of
nearby teeth.
4. What does “All-on-X” mean?
All-on-X” refers to the technique of securing an entire arch of teeth (top or
bottom) using as few as four strategically placed implants. The “X” represents
the number of implants used, typically four to six.
5. Can anyone get implants?
Most healthy adults are suitable candidates. We’ll assess your oral health, bone
structure, and medical history to determine whether implants are right for you.
6. Are dental implants more expensive than other options?
Implants may have a higher upfront cost, but they are also longer-lasting and
require fewer replacements than other options—making them a cost-effective
choice over time.
